Re: Mines Family

2agray — 2010-01-12 15:08:20Z

Hi Scott,

You may be on the right track. The names sound familar but I've been away from it for a while. Go back and read the first item in this thread. That person left a wonderful outline. This string of Mines came from County Down Ireland in Banbridge and sailed on the "Cornelia" to New York in November of 1842. They crossed the Irish Sea to Liverpool I believe before making the journey. The names you listed are part of the children on the original voyage. The baby girl, Mary I believe, died on the ship and was buried at sea. Could you imagine?

I never remember hearing O'Mines. I've seen "Minds" and "Mindes." With a strong Irish brouge, the name would be written down by the way it sounded out. By the way the immigrant pronounced it so the "d" would have been cropped.

The original family sorta spread out a bit and my link of that family are in the south in Tennessee and Georgia. My link is through the eldest son Felix. If I remember correctly, the father was James Mines and the Mother was Catherine Devlin. Again, check out that first post in the thread. Great info there.

One of the descendants born here in Tennessee actually moved back to New York in 1918. There are Mines relatives on Long Island.

Good luck to you!
Alan

Hi,

I have relatives that came over from Ireland / Scotland, not sure which right now, but were always told Ireland, that were named Mines. At one time it was said that the name was O'Mines and the "O" was dropped during the ship ride. My family Mines cane over and lived in Brooklyn; Hell's Kitchen for a while and then ended up in Poughkeepsie, NY. I'm trying to make a connection here. Can ya'll tell me if you remember any family that came over and stayed in the NY area? William (b.1832), John (b.1810) and Ann b. (1812) are some of the first relatives that I can confirm and listed on my family tree on www.Geni.com. My Great Great Grandfather born Francis Mine (b.1857) changed his name to Francis (Frank) Mihans (pronounced mi ans) some time around 1870 - 1880 and the rumored reason was his brothers were in trouble with the law quite a bit and he wanted to leave the attention behind him when he walked into work at Prudential Insurance company.

Anyway it would be nice if we could make the connection. The counties in Ireland I've seen and heard that the Mines may have descended from, Claire and Limerick.

Dear Ciaranmines,
Please forgive me for such a long delay in answering your e-mail.
Thankyou for your offer of help,you are in fact the third person from your area to do so,which opens up a completly new line of investigation for me.
My Mines family seemed to have originated in Wiltshire in the 1700's,but where they came from before that I do not know.
if you have any info of any of your Mines moving to that area,that would be good to know.
Of course any info that I have,that you would like to know,please dont hesitate to mail me.
Regards kirby154.

Re: Grandfather Felix Mines

2agray — 2009-09-21 15:26:52Z

Oh goodness Dan. I just really don't know how much stuff I have. It's kind of here and there. I know where most of the pictures are. In summer I'm always out in the yard. Winter time is project time. Once I close the pool down then I'm usually inside for the winter and bored. I'll start digging things out and organizing it. There was so much stuff when Daddy died from 2 families. I never took the time to organize it between families so it's jumbled. Most of it relates directly to Nellie's generation and stuff of her husband's family as well.

I saw a posting from a lady in Chattanooga that has the Ireland documents and I'd love to get a copy of those. I'm familiar with the Tennessee crowd and that part but the Irleand stuff I'm very fuzzy on.

I do have the family photo album. I think the family bible is with Debbie, Imogene's daughter. I used to have it but it got "removed" from the house when Grandmother was sick. A lot of things disappeared because Jean and her mother Pearl would sit with Grandmother and tell the paid sitters to go home. They pretty well cleaned out the joint.

I do have pictures and those death notices. A piece of a shroud and the paper with the locks of hair. I have the trunks they moved to Tullahoma with. Those would probably not be of any interest to anybody but me. It was strictly Grandmother's family's trunks. I have all the quilts they made down in the holler. And that big chest of drawers that supposedly came over on the boat in 1846. At least that's what Gladys told me.

No, nothing of family value has ever left this house and won't. I have sold off a lot of Grandmother's stuff but it was strictly indicative to her. Just junk and old furniture that was not in the best of shape. Nothing direct family oriented as far as historical documents.

Glady's granddaughter has sent me new pictures I've never seen so we are culminating all our stuff and sharing amounst each other. Once the fall sets in and I'm stuck in the house for the winter I'll start organizing things better. I just always took that stuff for granted. I never thought in a million years I would have relatives tracking me down. It's amazing.

The original washbowl and pitcher from the farm is at my sisters. I've never had any of this stuff appraised or dated. I'd love to have that chest of drawers dated but there is nobody around this area to do it and it's way too big and heavy to move frivolously.

My number is 931-434-0158. Be glad to talk to you anytime and tell you anything I know.

Hello
Thank you for info. I would like to know all old items you do have. I would like to find out if I could get copies of some of the photos. I have been on facebook and contact with many family members in Atlanta. Those items are of great importance to. Please take care for them and if I could ever see them would be of great value to me.

Hi Dan,
My other two sibs are Theresa Bernadette Weller (Mines) and Josephine Ann Olshaske (Mines). All five of us are well and living in or near Muskegon, MI. My mother's name was Bessie Mae Reed (Mines)deceased 1998; before traveling on she extracted a promise from us to meet socially at least once a month (which we do, at local resturants). After my 2000 post I moved back to MI (after living 45 years in CA!) and live near Muskegon, in the country, (rural, not rustic!)
We are all getting on, from 75 years old on down, and are enjoying life!

Best to you,and all, Stephen Dorman Mines

Re: Grandfather Felix Mines

2agray — 2009-08-19 15:27:00Z

Hi Dan,

Gosh there are so many entries for this family. Well...it was a huge family.

I am the grandson of Sarah Ellen "Nellie" Mines Gray. Most people remember her as "Aunt Nellie."

She was the daughter of James K. Polk Mines. If the photo you are describing is the one I have with the old man lying dead on a bier, Grandmother identified him as her father, James K. Polk Mines, not Felix. So that would be interesting if it really was Felix because Felix was one of the original immigrants from Banbridge Ireland in 1846.

However, I think I have his death card somewhere. Like modern funeral notices you pick up at the funeral home, these were cardboard like the backing of all those old pictures. I think it was Felix's. I know there is a Blythe in there too. I'll have to dig for those.

Another creepy thing I have is a lock of everybody's hair! I don't know who did it. Probably Grandma Mollie but they are sewn to a piece of paper with everybody's name on it. It's getting really fragile. There is also a fragment of a death shroud. Black material with bright red hand stiching. Can't remember who's it was right at the moment. And don't ask me why they saved all the grim stuff.

I've never learned how they got into Estill Springs. From Irleand to the US and then nothing. I don't know where they all spread out to and how many of them wound up in Franklin Co. I know Grandmother talked about cousins in Estill and there are a couple of pictures that she couldn't identify the names.

James K. Polk was Felix's eldest son and his children were:
Emmett
Maurice
Felix (Pete)
Sarah (Nellie)
Gladys

Around 1912 after the mill in Estill burned, they moved to Tullahoma. Uncle Pete and Grandmother stayed in Tullahoma and Uncle Emmett and Uncle Maurice moved to Georgia. Their father was a very bad alcoholic and very mean. Grandma Mollie, his wife, left him and married Thomas Collier. Nellie flip flopped back and forth between loyalty to her Mother and her Father. Nellie and James K. got in a huge fight and Nellie left him. Neither Nellie or Uncle Pete would have anything to do with him.

James K. fell and broke his hip and refused to have it set so he walked with this horrible gate the rest of his life. Uncle Maurice was about the only one that could handle him so Maurice and Emmett moved him down to Georgia with them.

As far as the cemetary, I will bet you your bottom dollar it is under water now. The original farm was just over the tracks from downtown Estill Springs very close to the mill. I have a picture of all of them standing on the front porch of the original home place. But I can certainly do some snooping for you. There ain't that many graveyards in Estill. Of course if it's back up in the woods I won't go until after the first frost and the snakes are gone.

With the creation of Tims Ford Lake, that land was flooded. It was down in a holler. Daddy took me down there one time but I couldn't tell you where it was today.

I would say the family cemetary was on their land. Their farm was next to General Floyd Wright's parent's farm. If you search old deeds, the Wright's and the Mines lived next door to each other.

Uncle Floyd went off to WWI when he was dating Gladys and told Aunt Gladys that when he came back from the war he would marry her and he did. They immediately moved to New York in 1918 or 1919.

I have the Mines photo album and there are quite a number of pictures from Grady's family. A few from the Blythe's which was Grandma Thomas' family. I've just recently scanned all of those for Gladys' granddaughter. Would be happy to share.

I also have the original piece of furniture that came over on the boat in 1846. Don't ask me how all this stuff wound up down here. LOL! I'm sure there is lots more.

Felix (Pete) got most of it. That was Nellie's brother. Their Mother lived a block away and had all the family stuff. When she died, Nellie was the closest to her and couldn't go clean the house out. Just broke her heart, so Pete took it all.

Pete's eldest daughter, Imogene, kept it all and she recently died. I'm sure her daughter Debbie has it all now. Hasn't quite been enough time yet to hit Debbie up for any family goodies.

We had the family bible but when Grandmother was dying, Jean and her Mother would come over and clean that house out. A lot of stuff disappeared and I'm the one that's supposed to be the peace keeper so I've never said anything about it. We hid all the pictures and things like that so they survived.

Hi Lisa

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. I believe your Grandfather Maurice was my Grandmother's brother.
Grandmother was Sarah Ellen Nellie Mines Gray. I remember her talking about your Dad. Very sorry to hear about him. Hope you are doing well.

Re: Grandfather Felix Mines

2agray — 2009-08-19 14:48:13Z

Grandmother used to talk of cousins in Estill Springs when she was growing up. I have the original photo album and before Grandmother died, my Mother sat down with her and wrote the names of the people on the backs of the photos. There were 2 or 3 that she couldn't remember the name and said they were cousins from Estill. Be glad to share those with you. My Grandmother was Sarah Ellen "Nellie" Mines. Daughter of James K. Polk Mines.

James K. Polk Mines was the eldest son of Felix Mines that immigrated from Banbridge Ireland in 1846.

I'm not sure where the spin off of the cousins begins in Estill Springs. James K.'s Family was:
Sarah (Nellie)
Emmett
Maurice
Felix (Pete)
Gladys

They all moved to Tullahoma after the mill burned in Estill Springs somewhere around 1912. Sarah and Felix stayed in Tullahoma. Gladys moved to New York and Maurice and Emmett moved to Cartersville/Marietta Georgia. They also moved their father down there after his divorce and breaking his hip. He was a bad alcoholic and Nellie took care of him for a while but they got in a big fight and she nor Felix would deal with him. Uncle Maurice could handle him so he and Emmett moved him down to Georgia with them.

Re: Mines Family

2agray — 2009-08-19 14:34:30Z

Pete and Pearl

Pete was his nickname. His real name was Felix. Another Felix. There were tons of them. If you remember, he was a barber and had his own little shop next door to their house on Volney Street in Tullahoma. Both the house and the shop are still standing.

Uncle Pete was my Grandmother's brother. Felix and Sarah Ellen "Nellie" Mines were sibblings and they lived a block from each other most of their lives.

Uncle Pete married Pearl Bailey. She was sister to Durwood "Nig" Bailey. Nig's wife's name was Alma. They lived right in behind me on Volney Street as well. Pearl's sister's name was Eunice. All of them lived on Volney.

Pete and Pearl had 2 children, Imogene (Jean) and Linda.
Jean married a Thompson and divorced. They had 1 child - Debbie.

Linda lives directly in my back yard. She married Donald Frazier and they had several children.

If there any questions regarding Pete and Pearl that you may have I can certainly ask Linda. She literally lives in my backyard. Our houses are that close. In fact, Donald took part of my back yard to plant his garden this year. LOL! Well, at least I don't have to mow it and I get free veggies.

But to answer your question about knowing all the Mines - Lord. There are so many of them. LOL! I have dozens of cousins I've never met. Just about any Mines in this area of Tennessee I'm related to distantly.

Re: Mines Family

2agray — 2009-08-13 18:05:38Z

Well, I was supposed to have been new the house. Okay? LOL!!
I was an oops. See, Nellie was 38 when she had Daddy and Mother was 31 when she had me so due to 2 late babies - yes, I'm much younger than most of the brood. Ricky? Oh good lord yes.

I have very old pictures of Grady, Emil and Alma. That would probably be your great grandparents or maybe grandparents. You are definitely the same line of Mines, just from a different sibbling from Felix Mines' humongous brood. James K Polk Mines was the eldest.

Uncle Emmett was the one I remember most. But of course I was very young when they all died. Mevelyn was Mother's favorite and Mother was the carpet queen so we used to go to Dalton a lot and visit with Mevelyn.

Daddy never took me down to Georgia and by that time, they really couldn't make the trip by themselves. I met Uncle Maurice once when Ivanor brought them all up.

Oh Pearl. Nuff said. LOL!! She and Jean lived one block in behind me. Honey, when it comes to the cousins there are so many of them I can't remember their names. LOL! I'm closer to Pearl and Pete's family. Linda, their daughter, still lives right behind me. So I'm close to that bunch. Debbie, Shollie, Malia, Skyler...

I wasn't around the Mines that much. Daddy didn't take me around them. They alienated Mother so she had nothing to do with them. Jean and Pearl lived behind for years and I rarely ever went back there. Just within the last couple of years have I really gotten involved with them. Basically, I really didn't know who they were!

Re: Mines Family

JaniceMinesDodd — 2009-08-13 16:18:31Z

Alan. My father is Felix Grady and my mom is Rachel. Pete was dad's cousin. He and Pearl used to come to our home when I was young. By the way, YOU are young! I am 60 and my oldest child is 40. My grandma was Evie and papa was Leo. Pearl used to come to mammie and papa's house too when I was young. I grew up in Tullahoma but have lived in Hillsboro for 30 years. Do you know any of the Mines boys in Tullahoma? They are: Larry(lives in Illinois), Johnny, Ricky,Ray, Mikie, Jeff and my brother James Willis passed away 5 years ago. My sisters are Gail Mines Austin, Patsy Mines Newman, Rebecca Mines Chambers and Melissa Mines Smith. I am married to Kenneth Dodd. There are boy cousins who are Mines' and cousins who are Bradfords. I met Maurice and some of dad's cousins from Georgia many years ago. It would be nice to meet you. If we have our Mines family reunion this fall I will let you know. Take care and thanks for the information. Janice

Re: Mines Family

2agray — 2009-08-13 14:18:39Z

Oh you're not being bold sweetheart. Ask anything you like. If I can't answer it, maybe some of the others can. Like myself, most of us are familiar with out direct line of Mines. Let me tell you, they were a "happy" bunch and each of them had a bazillon kids. They also named their children the same names over and over again. Felix is the most common and it is so hard to determine WHICH Felix.

I'm 42 and have always lived in Tullahoma. My line of Mines comes from Estill Springs. Then the boys branched off to Cartersville and Marietta Georgia.

James and Catherine - first to leave Ireland in 1846
They had several children. My branch comes down the line like this: (also read the very first entry. It has great info on all the wives and children)

Felix (James and Catherine's son) had 3 wives
James K. Polk Mines - (Felix's son)
Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" Thomas Mines - wife
Felix (or Pete nickname)
Maurice
Emmett
Sarah (or Nellie nickname)
Gladys
Sarah was my grandmother. Uncle Pete (Felix) always lived in Tullahoma. He only had 2 children Imogene and Linda. The rest of the family from Imogene and Linda's kids all still live in Tullahoma.

So it's finding the right Felix. I don't have all my notes in front of me.

You are in Chattanooga? You may be from the Georgia line. Uncle Emmett's daughter lived in Dalton and her name was Mevelyn if that sounds familiar. Ivanor was another of his daughters and bounced around northern Georgia. I can tell you all the kids names - I think. LOL! From there I don't know who they married and so on.

What happened was they settled in Estill Springs, TN. The boys worked in the mill. When the mill burned around 1912 they all came to Tullahoma to find work. Emmett and Maurice left for Georgia to be closer to Atlanta for work and started their families there. They were late teen's early 20's. Eventually they moved James K Polk Mines down there with them.

Sarah and Felix stayed in Tullahoma and raised their families. Gladys married and moved to New York in 1918 and started her family there. We are all over the place. LOL!

You may not have heard of the house on Carroll Street but you may have heard of Grandmother. Most people called her "Aunt Nellie." That's how I associate myself with distant family and even relatives here in town there's so many of them.

To tie me into the game - Sarah Ellen "Nellie" Mines married Ruby Gregory - divorced and then married Horace Gevilla Gray.

They had one son - John Robert Gray, my father.

Some of it is as clear as mud to me too. Feel free to call me any time. 931 434 0158

Hi. This is all very interesting but I still can't seem to connect the dots. My grandfather, Leo Francis Mines, was the son of Felix Mines. I think Ellen was his step mother, tho' I could be wrong. I'll have to ask my mom. Perhaps we can get together and talk. If I may be so bold, could I ask how old you are? I just don't remember anyone ever talking about the house on Carroll Street. So interesting. Thanks for the information. jmd

I have early pictures of a Grady Mines. Same family with Emil. I have a picture of the whole family and then one of Grady and his mother. The Mines were so famous for naming their kids the same names over and over again, this may be Grady's grandfather or something. Still interesting though.

Re: TN. Felix Mines & wife Amy J. Hall

jstitch51 — 2009-04-22 21:02:11Z

Hi Dan,

I actually don't have much info on the Mines family aside from the fact that Amy J. Hall married Felix Mines.
I believe that Amy's father John Hall was the brother of my g-g-grandmother Minerva Hall. I was trying to connect with the Mines family to see if anyone had any info on the Hall family. Wish I had more Mines info to share with you.

What little Mines info I have came from the Mines Surname Board at Rootsweb-so this isn't my research.
The Mines immigrated from Banbridge Co., Downs, Ireland in 1846.
The immigrant family consisted of James Mines, wife Catherine Devlin[Dealin] who arrived in Philadelphia on 23 Nov. 1846 on board the "Cornelia." Both born 1811 in Ireland.
Children all born in Ireland: Felix born 1835; Ann Louise born 1838; Bridget born 1840; Jane born 1842; Catherine born 1842, and Mary born 1845 & died on the voyage.

Felix was in Maury Co., Tn. in 1860 with first wife Ellen Long who died by 1867. One child- James Knox Polk Mines. Married Amy J. Hall, who died in 1887. Seven children-- Thomas F., John, Annie, Mary Ellen, Sarah, Felie Etta and Leo Francis. Married third to Mary E. Walker, 3 children Robert William; Michael; and Stephen Dorman Mines.
Felix Mines died 6 NOv. 1908 in Estill Springs, Franklin Co., Ala.
Like I said, this is not my research, so I have no sources to confirm any of it.

You did help me though. I didn't have John T. Hall's wife's maiden name of Lavender. Nor did I know when and where Amy J. Hall Mines died, or the names of her children.
I didn't know when and where Felix and Amy married either.

Any idea how they came to be married in Bedford County? Bedford County is quite a long way from Fayette County where Amy Hall lived.

Hi,

I actually haven't done any research on the Mines family. I just stumbled across it while looking for info on my Hall family.
I think Felix Mines' (1835-1908) second wife Amy J. Hall's father was a brother to my g-g-grandmother Minerva Hall.
My Halls lived in Fayette Co., Tn. Records in Fayette County are really hard to find.

My dad's name is Felix Grady Mines and his grandfather was Felix Mines who was born in Bainbridge Down, Ireland. I think my great grandfather is who you are looking for. I am trying to find info on the Mines family in Ireland. Hope we can connect al the dots!

Mines family in Augusta County VA from mid-1700s

From census and other sources I know there were several Mines's in Rockbridge and neighboring areas in Augusta Co. in the mid 1700s and to the present. Once in a while you see the spelling with MYNES but I haven't seen that in any records that I can prove are in my family. My Mines branch started out there, moved to Clarksburg, WV, then out to Warren, OH, and other places. Still can't find a connection between my Mines's in Augusta Co. and others there at the same time. The furthest name back that I know is Peter Mines, born about 1751. He married Ephy Martin, a Scotch-Irish woman, and is listed in DAR records and received a RevWar pension, died 1825. If anyone here is related to other Mines's in early Augusta Co, please contact me at cmmines@yahoo.com Thanks.

I was really interested in all of the information that you have on the Mines' family. I was just wondering if you may know anything about my grandfather on my Dad's side of the family. His name was Charles Mines and as far as i know he lived in Illinois and married Genevieve. I am not sure what my grandmother's surname was. If you have any information please e-mail me at rachlm@charter.net. I am very eager to find something out about my family history and no one in my family really seems to know. Thank you in advance for theinformation.

Does anyone have any information on Felix Mines (1835 -1908) second wife, Amy J. Hall?

Was her name Amy Jane or Amy John?

Her father may have been the brother of my great-great grandmother. If so, several of the women in the Hall family were named Amy John, after their grandparents, John and Amy Hall of Fayette Co., TN..
I'm trying to learn more about the Hall family. Not finding much information on them.

You mentioned a Herman Mines in your research of your lineage. My father's name was Herman Mines from NYC. Born in 1908 and died December 7, 1950. My previous posting listed my address as dyermines@rtmx.net (that e-mail is no longer working).
